About us
cobo Botanical Specialities GmbH & Co. KG has had its main office in Hamburg since its foundation in 1922 and is well known as a successful traditional company in the handling of natural products, boasting decades of experience in the field.
As importers and exporters we are specialized in the trade of natural materials. In addition to medicinal herbs we are active on a European and worldwide level in the following fields:
- Spices
- Raw materials for the extraction of colorants
- Liquorice products
- Aroma products
- Raw materials for the extraction of fragrances
Since January 1, 2018, cobo Botanical Specialities GmbH & Co. KG has been part of the Johann Gottfried Schütte & Co. Group in Bremen. Since then, we have taken the opportunity to further align the product range with the customer needs of both companies.
Good reasons
Quality & Security
Most of our product range is stored in our own warehouse in Weyhe near Bremen, which we run together with our sister companies in the Johann Gottfried Schütte GmbH & Co. KG group, to which cobo has belonged since 2018. The goods are stored there in ventilated and climate-stable premises under controlled conditions.
The warehouse also has various certifications such as IFS and can also store goods in a Kosher and EU organic compliant manner. Our warehouse team ensures a fast, flexible and optimal service for our customers. Within our group of companies we also have different opportunities to operate the processing of products such as cutting or CO2 pressure treatment.
Know How & Innovation
Our motivation comes from a love of our products – the plants, herbs and spices of the earth. The processing of natural raw materials is becoming an ever more frequent part of our daily business.
In this field, we work closely with firms that look to reduce wastage and enable a sparing and customised processing of valuable plant materials. All processed raw materials are controlled both before and during their processing.
Flexibility & Speed
Adapting to the wishes and requests of our business partners plays a central role for us and so we try to keep in close contact with our customers in order to be able to adjust to their wishes and requests.
Our warehouse allows us to send out deliveries fast. Our customers greatly appreciate being able to receive their orders within a day and should the product that they desire not be available in our warehouse, we will import it for them direct from the source.
Sustainability
With our long-standing suppliers in the products countries of origin, we strive for a responsible and careful use of resources of the best-possible quality and for the trade of our goods to be fair worldwide.
Social conditions in our supplier countries as well as consumer and environmental protection are also all very important to us.
